Hi, Beth! Great post, great blog! Do you have other musicals that you show to each grade level from year to year? Thanks!

  Actually, I don’t. I show Do, Re, Mi (from The Sound of Music) to just about everyone when I’m teaching melody. I also show The Nutcracker to 1st, 2nd and 3rd around Christmas. But I love musicals, and if you can fit it in to your curriculum, I would think several would be appropriate to show. 🙂

Hi Beth! Just came across your blog on Pinterest. I am thrilled! I need more of these posts please (or more wonderful ideas like this). I’m homeschooling a 5th grader next year and would like to base my music curriculum on musicals.
